Why does my light turn off on one side and I have to turn them off and then back on to work, usually with the one light going out seconds later? Also, when my 15 inch subs are turned up, the other one will flicker, but not go out. Do I need to order...

This seems more like a power issue than a ballast issue. Especially in the case of your subs turned up. It also depends on how your ballasts are connected... (meaning to the factory headlight wiring or through a relay which provides direct power from the battery.) The relay setup is the better option as sometimes the factory wiring isnt able to carry the amount of amps the ballast require, especially at startup which is the highest load. You can take a look at this to see if it resolves the issue before replacing the ballast. My second recommendation is an addition to your music setup, which is a farad capacitor. This will act as a power buffer for when your sub is turned up. You can check youtube to have a better understanding of a relay setup for you ballast. And also how to integrate a capacitor into your music setup.

I tried the dimmer with 2 ceiling lights with Cree soft white TW series. No buzzing, BUT when turning on the lights, they flicker once, and then don't always come on again. After flipping the switch a couple of times, they work correctly -- until they've been turned off for a few minutes. Then the probably occurs again, but only once. I've confirmed that incandescents work just fine, so it's not the electrical wiring.I have 60w Cree TW bulbs with an older Lutron dimmer that's designed for incandescents, and that combination doesn't have the same problem. The lights just don't fade in as well, because the older dimmer isn't designed to start with so little power, I guess. They fade out just fine though.

How long did the last? What model did you install them on? My answer is if you installed them and they malfunctioned upon installation then you got a defective pair. In the meantime, I'll tell you that mine work really well they get the job done pretty well... However, I have gone through 3 pairs of these because I'm constantly turning my lights on and off (it's my daily driver). However, these LEDs do give my car a modern look :) Hoping to hear back from you soon so I can properly reply.

Do you have those light switches with a light in the switch? That could be the problem. If so, try changing one the the switches to a non-lighted kind. And no, the LED's should go off all the way.

Well, Chad. The ones i bought work Perfect, No Issues. Sounds like your problem could be a Ground Issue? I guess i would hook them up, one at a time, to a good 12volt battery. makeing sure if the problem follows the same light. then...take that light apart and look for any possible Faults?

My guess is you got a defective one. They are fairly inexpensive to begin with, so it wouldn't be a long shot if you ended up getting one that was malfunctioning the way you are describing. My advice is to just send it back to Amazon so they can replace it with another one. I know it's an inconvenience, but in the end, you'll be glad you did. It's a great light, especially when it works the way it's supposed to.

Very slight flicker when turning on -- not annoying at all. Instant on. However, they do flicker when it is time to change a bulb. I've had 20 in my family room ceiling since 1993. They are on constantly and I haven't had to change a bulb in over 15 months.

What is the problem with switch on the first flashlight.? I bought two more of these of these flashlights the first one worked fine for a week so I ordered two more by the time I got the second order the first flashlight would go on sometimes by pushing the button and other times it wouldn't. And then about a week later I received he other two flashlights. They are very well made machine but I think the switch on the bottom is no problem. I noticed a few other feedbacks that I wasn't the only one that had a problem with the on-off button please answer thank you.

For some reason the connections shake loose in shipping inside the light. You could try making sure they're all connected properly. UNPLUG the light, remove the 4 screws and just wiggle all the connectors to make sure they're tight. Replace the cover and try it again. I did this on the 2nd one (same problem) and it fixed it! Good Luck!!!

I wish I could be of some help and I'm going to point out the obvious and make sure that they are charged up. One thing that I did discover that that this type of system doesn't like compact fluorescent lamps. I'm guessing that the frequency of the lamp is to close to a harmonic of 144 Hz. I just know that I had trouble syncing until I turned them all out. Wish I could be of more help and good luck.

I have them in three ceiling fans. There is NO flicker. When you turn them on, they come on instantly. When you turn them off, they go out instantly...no flicker.

The min/max wattage comment (by Scott) is spot on. My fixture had 3 dimmable LEDs and I had flickering. I swapped out one LED bulb for an incandescent to get above the min wattage. All flickering is gone. dimming works as expected.

Yes, all four of mine flickered. I sent them back. I had a set of Philips LED bulbs in the same sockets and they never flickered, so I'm replacing these with another set of Philips LED bulbs. I suspect if your lights were flickering then you have voltage inconsistencies in your house (even though you didn't have them on a dimmable switch) and a bulb marked "dimmable" will probably be able to handle it without flickering.

What if you have one more light, WHAT?How do you hook them up? I put all the red wires together and all the black wires together and hook them to power. Red to positive and black to ground. OR I hook up a positive thru the switch I'm using, and a ground from the battery then I "tap" into each with the LED strip wires. You HAVE TO WIRE THEM CORRECTLY RED TO POSITIVE, BLACK TO NEGATIVE OR THE LED WON'T WORK AT ALL. Its not like a regular light bulb that can be wired in reverse. Hope all this mess helps you.

I originally ordered the dimmer but ran into the same issue - if the power is turned off at the wall switch, you have to turn it back on at 2 places - first the wall switch, then the dimmer. I returned the dimmer and solved the issue by replacing the wall switch with a compatable dimmer. I communicated directly with Lightkiwi for a list of compatible wall dimmers. (don't have the list anymore or I would share it) Found the proper dimmer at Home Depot.

I don't think that that sounds right.With mine, there is no light on the unit unless I turn it on with the remote. At that time the red light on the unit comes on and my lights come on. When I turn it off with the remote, my lights and the red indicator go off.I hope that that is of some help

I would send it back. I have had mine for some time and have had no issues with mine. Sounds like a bad light sensor. Good luck.
